        Don't forget to take the player's edge into account. If you are
playing quarter FPDW with > 0.75% advantage, I am sure fast and sloppy
play is superior because you are maximizing your play per hour and it
will take several errors to bring your payback below 100%. On the other
hand if you are playing $5 and up 9/6 JB with cashback and promos that
bring the return up to the 100.2% range (about as good as I can find
these days) you had better slow down and play a solid game or your
mistakes are going to make your play a negative one. Even if penalty
card plays only reduce your return 0.1%, that's half your advantage! Are
you really going to play twice as fast not using penalty card situations?

John;
.1% is 100 times the difference in 9/6 JB. If the game is 100.2% using
penalty cards, it will be 100.199% not using penalty cards.
